Christie to Trump: You don’t get a do-over in Iowa

Donald Trump admitted that his choice to skip the Fox News-hosted GOP debate could have contributed to his second-place finish in the Iowa caucuses Monday night. That poll found that Trump had an overwhelming national lead, 34 percent to second-place Cruz at 18 percent.

Trump also slammed Cruz on Tuesday as “really dishonest” for attack ads the Texas senator has run that accuse Trump of supporting Obamacare.

Mr Pate said Mr Cruz’s mailers “misrepresent Iowa election law” and that they were “not in keeping in the spirit of the Iowa Caucuses”, but he stopped short of any official action.

Businesswoman Carly Fiorina stayed the same at 4 percent, and Dr. Ben Carson is also unchanged at 2 percent.

“Today I was shown a piece of literature from the Cruz for President campaign that misrepresents the role of my office, and worse, misrepresents Iowa election law”.

“Reality hit the reality TV star in Iowa, so nobody is talking about him now, so he’s trying to regain some attention on Twitter“, Cruz’s Communications Director Rick Tyler told CNN.

It did not, although the tycoon and television personality remains well in the race for the party’s presidential nomination ahead of the New Hampshire state primary vote on Tuesday. Marco Rubio continue to climb in the polls, according to a NBC News/Wall Street Journal/Marist Poll released Friday.

Cruz’s campaign did not immediately respond to requests for comment on Trump’s accusations. Trump said Wednesday he’d “probably” sue Cruz over it; the billionaire real-estate mogul has called it “voter fraud” and said Cruz “stole” the race.

“For a guy known for making bombastic, off-the-wall speeches, Donald Trump’s Iowa speech was something genuinely new: a conventional concession speech”, Timothy B. Lee wrote on Vox. “I think he’s done pretty well from the start”, said Mr Eli Johnson, 33, from nearby Brookline, New Hampshire.
